Today, the question arises of the environmental friendliness of housing, because many materials are produced with the addition of substances harmful to human health. For this reason, eco-settlements are created where the material for building a house is taken exclusively of natural origin. A simple example of clay and firewood, from which the author built a wonderful house, how he succeeded and what was required for the construction, see below.

The process of building a house of firewood and clay.Let's look at what this construction technology is all about. and where did she come from? It turns out there’s nothing new here, people from time immemorial built such a house, but with the development of technology they forgot a little about it.
According to historians, this type of construction was widely used in America, during the well-known Great Depression, people simply didn’t have money, but they needed housing, so they began to build from firewood and clay and continue to this day. Because the material is free, that is, clay can be dug up for free and without breaking the law, dry wood in the forest is also in bulk.
The construction technology of firewood and clay was also used in the USSR mainly in the northern regions, where garages were built for equipment, as well as buildings for animals, but residential houses were also built.
The masonry technique is simple, the same as when laying firewood in a woodpile, only with the addition of clay.
The edges of logs "according to the author" must be a little outward, as in the photograph. Before starting construction, you should definitely decide on the masonry method, a sample is shown in the photo below.
But the first thing is to stock up with firewood, which, according to the author, can be taken absolutely free of charge and without breaking the law in the forest, in the form of dry fallen trees, but on the contrary can be useful. Clay is also not difficult to get. Having prepared the necessary amount of firewood, the author proceeds to sawing into logs and removes the bark from them.
A massive foundation is not required here, which again reduces the cost
construction. Starting to masonry, the author and friends first lay waterproofing on the foundation foundation, then a small layer of cement, and only then the masonry begins.
Cement is placed only along the edges of the masonry, a cavity for insulation is left inside, cement is used only to create a basement.
Inside, the author leaves a gap that is filled with insulation in the form of sawdust or straw; lime can be used to combat rodents, mixing it with sawdust.
Pole by pole and now the beginning of a beautiful wall looms.
For the construction of partitions, insulation is not required.
The technology is so simple that even a baby can handle it.
Masonry is also carried out comparatively not for long, and now part of the walls are ready, look what a beauty.
Then the author proceeds to the creation of the roof and roofing.
After the completion of all construction work, the author’s house is ready and waiting for the residents to move.
The author gives advice to beginner builders, in the beginning you should build a small structure, for example
garage, a barn, a bathhouse, according to this technology, to learn everything during the construction process and only then start serious business.
For greater clarity, a video is presented to your attention, where the author built a small house for the season, using only natural materials.
